+grpcurl -cacert ca.pem \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  mcns.svc.mcp.metacircular.net:9443 mcns.v1.ZoneService/ListZones

+```bash
+grpcurl -cacert ca.pem \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -d '{"zone":"svc.mcp.metacircular.net","name":"metacrypt","type":"A","value":"192.168.88.181","ttl":300}' \

+## Shared Library
+
+MCNS uses `mcdsl` (git.wntrmute.dev/kyle/mcdsl) for shared platform packages:
+auth, db, config, httpserver, grpcserver. These provide MCIAS authentication,
+SQLite database helpers, TOML config loading, and TLS-configured HTTP/gRPC
+server scaffolding.
+
+## Testing Patterns
+
+- Use stdlib `testing` only. No third-party test frameworks.
+- Tests use real SQLite databases in `t.TempDir()`. No mocks for databases.
+
+## Key Invariants
+
+- **SOA serial format**: YYYYMMDDNN, auto-incremented on every record mutation.
+  If the date prefix matches today, NN is incremented. Otherwise the serial
+  resets to today with NN=01.
+- **CNAME exclusivity**: Enforced at the DB layer within transactions. A name
+  cannot have both CNAME and A/AAAA records. Attempts to violate this return
+  `ErrConflict`.
+
 ## Critical Rules
 
 1. **REST/gRPC sync**: Every REST endpoint must have a corresponding gRPC
